Igbos In Opc by aljharem(m): 2:33pm On Feb 06, 2011 |
Today one of my friends in lagos told me about some igbos in lagos that have join OPC. To the yorubas and igbos on this forum, what do you think about that ? |
Re: Igbos In Opc by seanet02: 2:45pm On Feb 06, 2011 |
Illogical Ranting. Ibos will never be allowed to Join ODUA PEOPLES CONGRESS. We are not interested in selling our Heritage like Massob did by dropping their Agitation because of GEJ hard currency. Thank you, go and join Bakassi Peoples Congress or Bakassi Boys!!! Whichever your destiny picks. |

The MUMU don come again. Na lie go kill you. Why will an Igbo person want to join OPC. |
Re: Igbos In Opc by aljharem(m): 3:08pm On Feb 06, 2011 |
seanet02: afam4eva: and why can't an igbo man join OPC, if he has lived there all his life and he his now an indigene like you aways claim, why can't he join OPC just like the head of awera was a yoruba man at once |
Re: Igbos In Opc by Afam4eva(m): 3:10pm On Feb 06, 2011 |
alj harem: Abeg commot. You complain about an Igbo person being governor but you want him to join OPC. |
Re: Igbos In Opc by Abagworo(m): 3:11pm On Feb 06, 2011 |
Alj Harem is very right.I know some Igbos in OPC.The truth is that people refer to Vigilante groups in Lagos as OPC which is quite different from the real OPC.It is more appropriate to claim that there are some Igbo members in the Lagos Vigilante. |

seanet02: You are not serious. @ Topic I also heard that once but was not sure. Well, how does it affect anything |
Re: Igbos In Opc by Afam4eva(m): 3:15pm On Feb 06, 2011 |
Abagworo: Lagos vigilante is different from OPC. |
Re: Igbos In Opc by aljharem(m): 3:16pm On Feb 06, 2011 |
Abagworo: i know, but i think most vigilante groups in lagos have connection to OPC one form or the other when i was in lagos, the street i was living in was protected by some vigilante groups some with igbo origin and they claim to be connected to OPC. |

afam4eva: http://allafrica.com/stories/199912010226.html OPC, Igbos Form Alliance Lagos — The Oodua People's Congress (OPC) and the Igbo residents in Lagos have formed an alliance. The alliance which was brokered between the Dr. Frederick Fasehun- led OPC and the Igbo People's Congress (IPC) headed by Mr. Nwankwo Nwaezigwe is meant to cement unity, mutual co-operation and understanding between the Yoruba and Igbo residents of Lagos. |

http://thenationonlineng.net/web2/articles/13335/1/History-is-not-the-study-of-the-past/Page1.html Dr. Nwankwo Tony Nwaezeigwe, a Senior Rersearch Fellow and Lecturer at the Institute of African Studies, University of Nigeria Nsukka founded the Igbo Peoples Congress in 1998. In this interview with Edozie Udeze and Joe Agbro Jr., he reiterated amongst other issues a need for forging better relationship between Igbos and Yorubas by Edozie Udeze You are for the integration of Yoruba/Igbo relationship. What informed that? During 1999 and 2001, I brokered confrontations between the Igbos and the Yorubas in Lagos. I signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Oduduwa Peoples Congress (OPC) and throughout the crisis between the OPC and Ijaws, the OPC and Hausas here in Lagos and the nation at large, we co-operated fervently. And I can say that I am an associate member of Odududwa Peoples Congress, OPC. They have taken me as a good friend, as a representative of the good rapport between the Igbos and the Yorubas. And through me, the OPC intervened in Yoruba/Igbo fracas in Lagos. We settled the matter at Apapa Wharf, Alaba Market, and other places. And since then, I found that the Igbos and Yorubas have been co-operating. We did it because we felt that we are under siege by the north, both politically, economically, and otherwise. If Yorubas and Igbos continue to divide themselves out of petty rivalry, then we are nowhere. It was my own move with OPC that prompted Ohaneze to go and make a move to Afenifere. But when I started, my Igbo brothers were accusing me as a sell-out, a saboteur. I said, look, you cannot tell me that it is fruitless to dialogue with Yoruba people. Eighty percent of the Igbo man’s business worldwide is situated in Yorubaland, especially Lagos. So, economic-wise, you have advantage of being at peace with them. If you go to Niger Bridge, go to Ninth Mile - the two gateways of the East to outer worlds, look at the vehicles that leave Niger Bridge to West and compare to the vehicles that leave Obulafor to the North. Nnamdi Azikiwe developed his political life here in Yorubaland before he moved to the east. So, you find out that we have every reason to work together. |

jason123: and that's a sensable ,man unlike people like afam that are daft and never do research before posting trash |
Re: Igbos In Opc by Nobody: 3:37pm On Feb 06, 2011 |
Only good ibos should be allowed,frustrated ones should not be admitted. |
Re: Igbos In Opc by seanet02: 3:38pm On Feb 06, 2011 |

~Bluetooth: +1000! seanet02: Well, you do not decide who joins, do you? |
Re: Igbos In Opc by seanet02: 3:54pm On Feb 06, 2011 |
If you allow them, one day you will wake up and see them agitating to be the new Oni of Ife. |
Re: Igbos In Opc by aljharem(m): 3:58pm On Feb 06, 2011 |
seanet02:: ooohhoo now you see what i am saying, mumu tinubu and fashola put igbo commissioners in lagos as if there are no better yoruba men and women in other yoruba state if not lagos but i think the igbo commissioner as i had speaks very good yoruba even better than yours and bluetooth and i also heard he supports afenifere and other yoruba groups |
Re: Igbos In Opc by seanet02: 4:13pm On Feb 06, 2011 |

Re: Igbos In Opc by Nobody: 4:33pm On Feb 06, 2011 |
seanet02:honestly,i doubt the possibility of this assumption.the best thing is to show them that they are admitted by privilege and not a right. |

^^^^^ loser!!! |
Re: Igbos In Opc by olabukola: 1:08am On Feb 07, 2011 |
~Bluetooth:I sound stupid to most of you when i opened a thread that this people will have advantage on the long run if Nigeria did not divide. Many even claimed that am not Yoruba. I projected in the next 20 to 30 yrs but its happening now. Their numbers are growing each day in yoruba land while we think they don't know what they are doing. Until then become the Gov of Lagos then we will wake up. Yoruba ranu!!!!!! |
Re: Igbos In Opc by jason123: 1:16am On Feb 07, 2011 |
olabukola:You can't even speak yoruba well . What you typed there was an insult. Secondly, why are you paranoid If they are at the advantage, so be it. You are the only yoruba man I have even seen to be this paranoid, |
Re: Igbos In Opc by oderemo(m): 1:21am On Feb 07, 2011 |
what is so special abt an igbo man joining b.l.oody opc anyway? have you guys witnessed any opc operations b4? is that what you wnt to applaud.\? give me a break,. |
Re: Igbos In Opc by udezue(m): 1:37am On Feb 07, 2011 |
LOL!!! Igbos in OPC? Bullocks. IPC is clearly not OPC and being an associate member does not make u a member or atleast full member. U can't vote, u can't hold a position neither can u lead the group. U are only there to lend them support and deal with them. A Yoruba chick is an associate member of our group in Houston. She is a good friend. IPC is a good friend OPC but no Igbos are not members of OPC. Even if they were to be a member of such a ragtag charm carrying group are we supposed to cry, or get happy? I am not against both groups cooperating with eachother for the betterment of both communities. The British and Russians had to defeat Nazi Germany so no biggie. |
Re: Igbos In Opc by dempeople(m): 1:44am On Feb 07, 2011 |
Any Onyeigbo found in OPC must be an efulefu. I said it,[size=14pt] EFULEFU!!![/size] |
Re: Igbos In Opc by jason123: 1:48am On Feb 07, 2011 |
udezue: I have also heard about the ICP organisation and their cooperation with OPC. I hope this builds bonds. dem_people:. I suspect you are an OPC member, therefore an efulefu igbo. |
